I realize the Roadeo on the Riv site is just a prototype, but FWIW Joe

amazing.
That's just unbelievably good.

You would want to have a very smooth shoe sole with that set up.
Getting your foot in and out of toe clips where the pedal has a grippy
surface can be a bit of a challenge. No problem on long rides. But
on rides where you start and stop often it can be a bit of a pain.
